Wordpress LogoI’ve just downloaded and installed Krischan Jodies fantastic WordPress Plugin: Get Recent Comments, you can see in action at the bottom of the blog here. The plugin displays excerpts of the latest comments and/or trackbacks to your blog. Although the common installation is to place the plugin as a widget on your blog’s sidebar, I added it as raw PHP code to the footer of my Wordpress template. I am very impressed with this plugin’s flexibility and with the admin tools that it installs in your Wordpress dashboard. You have fully comprehensive and complete control over the appearance which ranges from the number of comments, the length of the excerpts up to the actual Html and CSS layout.

Here’s the features on the plugin from the Wordpress site :

blockquote Feature List

* Highly configurable via WordPress admin interface.
* Support for WordPress 1.5, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3
* Adjustable layout by macros.
* Handles trackbacks and comments in separate lists, or in one combined list.
* Widget support
* Caches the output
* Order comments by date, or by posting
* Support for gravatars.
* Option to exclude comments to posts in certain categorys
* Doesn’t show pingbacks originating from own blog
* There is a special version for lyceum multiblog installations: http://blog.jodies.de/blog/get-recent-comments/lyceum/
* Supports Hannah Gray’s Profile Pics Plugin

You can download the plugin here : Get Recent Comments

It’s a snap to install, all you have to do is drop one file in your plugins directory and enable it in your dashboard and you’re good to go !!

Enjoy !!
